Show/Hide Kitchen Sink: The Tiny but Vital WordPress Button You May Have Missed Posted: 29 Oct 2013 05:30 AM PDT You might only be using half the power of WordPress's visual editor … without even realising it. I came across the handy (though cumbersomely named) "Show/Hide Kitchen Sink" button in my very early days of blogging. In the six years since then, I've realised that this is always off by default on new blogs … and many bloggers don't even know it exists. No idea what that button is or what it does? Here's what you need to do: 1. Login to your blog's dashboard. 2. Open up a post or page to edit (or create a new draft). 3. Look at the top of the main posting box. You'll see a row of icons like this: 4. Click on the button that I've indicated with the red square. Tada! You now have a second row of editing icons, including some I'd be lost without: The "Paragraph" drop down, that lets you select Heading formats ("paragraph" is default, normal text). The "text colour" button – this is the A with a line underneath. The Character map for special characters – this is the Omega. The "undo" and "redo" buttons – the curved arrows. To see what a button does, just hold your cursor over it and a short explanation will pop up. (This will also tell you the button's keyboard shortcut.)   So … did you know about Show/Hide Kitchen Sink, or is this the first time you've seen that second of buttons?
